Hormone replacement therapy

From:

Summary: A discussion between John Studd from King's College Hospital Medical School and Mr. Geoffrey Chamberlain. The following summary accompanies the cassette: Following ovarian failure there is a 13-fold increase in plasma FSH and a 3-fold increase in luteinizing hormone together with a fall in oestrone and oestradiol to 20% of their normal follicular phase values. Oestrogen therapy will remove most of the symptoms of the climacteric but there is no doubt that unopposed oestrogens carry a risk of hyperplasmia and possibly endometrial carcinoma. Hyperplasia can be prevented by giving 10 days of a progestogen with the cyclical oestrogen therapy and this should be the recommended regimen of therapy. If cystic glandular hyperplasia does occur with unopposed oestrogens it can invariably be corrected with two 21 day courses of a progestogen. Scanning electron microscopy is being used to characterise the cell surface morphology in normal hyperplastic malignant endometrial cells. 6 segments.

Further information: This video is one of more than 120 titles, originally broadcast on Channel 7 of the ILEA closed-circuit television network, given to Wellcome Trust from the University of London Audio-Visual Centre shortly after it closed in the late 1980s. Although some of these programmes might now seem rather out-dated, they probably represent the largest and most diversified body of medical video produced in any British university at this time, and give a comprehensive and fascinating view of the state of medical and surgical research and practice in the 1970s and 1980s, thus constituting a contemporary medical-historical archive of great interest. The lectures mostly take place in a small and intimate studio setting and are often face-to-face. The lecturers use a wide variety of resources to illustrate their points, including film clips, slides, graphs, animated diagrams, charts and tables as well as 3-dimensional models and display boards with movable pieces. Some of the lecturers are telegenic while some are clearly less comfortable about being recorded all are experts in their field and show great enthusiasm to share both the latest research and the historical context of their specialist areas.
